And, by jove, it was! Even Johnson himself seemed shocked that fans had spotted the tiny easter-egg, though he really shouldn’t be.

In today’s world, there is always someone looking just a little bit too hard at an image to try and get some form of fan theory about a tiny detail in the background of a shot – that’s just fan culture now.

To be fair, there’s nothing wrong with that, and if it weren’t for those beautiful nerds then we wouldn’t have this little gem of a fact right here.

Johnson tweeted in response to the question about Gary’s presence in the image:

YES! Wow, good eyes.

Incredible.

If you need any evidence of Carrie Fisher’s strength, wit, and unwavering refusal to adhere to Hollywood’s playbook, then look no further than her response to a producer who was known for sexual harassment.

Back in 2000, a friend of Carrie’s, called Heather Robinson, was sexually assaulted by an unidentified Oscar-winning producer, so what did Carrie do?

She sent him a cow’s tongue.

Carrie reportedly told Heather:

I just saw [blank] at Sony studios. I knew he would probably be there, so I went to his office and personally delivered a Tiffany’s box wrapped with a white bow.

It was a cow tongue from Jerry’s Famous Deli with a note that said, ‘If you ever touch my darling Heather or any other woman again, the next delivery will be something of yours in a much smaller box.’

In a world where it’s easy to get down about the abuse of power and authority – both culturally and politically – we all need to be a little bit more like Carrie.

If you want a little window into one of her loves then head over to Gary the dog’s own Instagram page in which you can see his antics in the California home of Fisher’s former personal assistant Corby McCoin.
